Abstract:
... Packing densification of mono-sized regular dodecahedral particles subjected to 3D vibrations was studied through systematical physical experiments. The influences of various vibration conditions and container size on the packing density were analyzed and the operating parameters were optimized. The obtained microstructures of different packings were characterized through 3D CT non-destructive ins ...

Abstract:
... Hoppers are one of the most popular devices implemented to allow precise flow control mechanism when dispensing granulate materials from silos and other containers. Despite its ubiquity in many industrial processes, the effect that hopper geometry has on the flow rate is still poorly understood. In this work, we study the influence of the hopper angle on the main two variables that determine the f ...

Abstract:
... Product packaging is an important instrument for marketers to draw consumer attention to specific product information and influence product perceptions. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether exposure to a product's packaging can also activate specific mindsets that, once activated, alter consumers' food perceptions. The results of three experiments demonstrate that elongated conta ...
